He hailed from New South Wales and became a prominent figure in the Australian literary world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sorenson's enduring legacy lies in his fervent dedication to illuminating the struggles and triumphs of the common bushman. His seminal work, 'On the Wallaby'—a poignant narrative drawn from his personal experiences—shines a light on the challenges faced by itinerant workers known as 'swagmen' as they journeyed through Queensland in search of employment.
